MBRtool is a utility designed to backup, restore and
manipulate your hard disk MBR.

The MBR could easily be seen as one of the most important sectors on
the disk. If anything happens to the contents of this sector, the
data on your disk could be unreachable. Or the computer might simply
not start anymore.

MBRtool is not an automatic recovery program but will allow
users to prevent data loss (caused by MBR corruption) by backing up
the MBR, and offers power users all the power they'll ever need to
work with their MBR.

MBRtool is freeware.
